    Agreed.

    I more than most cherish a full completed round .( and I can explain that statement if need be ) .

    Please don't.

    because all im talking about is coin games. that's the only place that only has a timer of 45 seconds.  that someone wants to change. 

     

    alt shots isn't the same. that's 4 people socializing while they play some golf. I mean that's kind of the fun of that type of play.

    coin games are mostly 1 and 3 hole matches and the 1 holes just isn't enough time to really chat and get to know anyone.

    so it's play and move on.

    and if on an apparel run it's really about maxing out as many games as you can in the 30 minutes that you have. 

    I get that, I think more what I am saying is some of the people who play alt, or used to play stroke and MP games in flash- Have a desire to play Coin games but cant or wont because of the timer.

    I know I have talked to many who feel this way, they are sort of lost in a void because their really isn't any MP or multi player stroke games to be had via join a game.

    Coin games to me are arcade-ish which makes the 45 sec timer just fine, and Agree that 1-3 holes isn't suited for long talks. Just seeing an abundance of these type players that cant find games does make me empathize with a need for some type of change/remedy though.

    ChrisDeGarmo:

    The glaring omission from discussions about timers is how you're reset back to defaults if you do in fact time out. 

    Excellent point. I'm glad you brought it up. Maybe they can, at least, do something about that.

    Okay . Yeah right .Because not knowing the yardage , elevation wind speed and direction , club selection , and spin . The opponents ever so long 45 seconds has you 90% prepared . Good to know .

    Don't be sarcastic when you're clueless once again. Makes the rest of us shake our heads even more.

     

    When your ball stops rolling look at the yardage. not that complicated.

    The wind speed doesnt change. memory that short?

    Wind direction most all the time isn't going to be all that different than the tee shot. 

    Club selection is close to being dialed in. you know the yardage and the wind speed, may have to adjust a bit on the wind direction, but most of the time you just need the elevation. And if you've played as much as you. and know as much about the game as you try to portray, most of the time you should be pretty close on knowing  the elevation.

    regardless even if don't know the elevation it's a few yards of change.

    Spin? Spin is related to yardage you want to hit. if you know the yardage you should know the spin.

     

    So yes. 90% if not all of your math should be done if you go second on the approach. if going first can get pretty far along while waiting on the screen to load. 

     

    Shouldn't be mean to others when that clueless. But it's your standard bit.
